When Hualin in the mountains was producing, Xiao Ruyun in Shuanghe County outside the mountains was not idle at all. This was an unprecedented move. According to tradition, the immortal officials devolved from Qingzhou actually did not deal with it. For any practical matters, they either don't go to Qiyun Peak at all and leave all matters to their trusted servants, or even if they have to go to the place, they only associate and marry with a few big families with the blood of the Xian family in the place. Specifically, Affairs are still handed over to the housekeeper and local officials. However, Xiao Ruyun seemed to take her status as an immortal official seriously and really started to work aggressively in the county. Even until she knew that the land of Qingheng had been in disaster and was frozen for thousands of miles, Still so.
"Are these the oldest farmers in the area?" She sat upright and asked Tian Sanhu next to her, because one of the people summoned to the front of the hall had not yet turned white.
"Yes, although he is not the oldest, he runs the best farm. One acre of vegetable land he manages is as good as other people's two acres." Tian Sanhu replied politely. He has followed him since he was a child. The family wields swords and guns, and knows nothing about farming. However, when buying land for himself, in order to avoid being deceived, he asked someone to find experts in farming. This time Xiao Ruyun asked by name. He found an experienced farmer and recommended him. When Xiao Ruyun heard this, she actually smiled: "This is amazing! But what I want to know is whether you have any experience in famine relief."
It turned out that the purpose of sending people to find the old farmer was for this matter. Indeed, Shuanghe County did not encounter ice this time. However, the previous raids by the barbarians resulted in the loss of not only the population, but also crops and livestock. We could have expected to recover from other places. When transporting food, the neighboring counties have all been wiped out, and hundreds of refugees who were lucky enough to escape have to eat in this county. Food is an issue that cannot be ignored. When Tian Sanhu secretly admired the governance ability of the young fairy official , I heard the middle-aged rich farmer he recommended step forward and continuously talked about several crops such as radish and mung beans that can be harvested in a short time, and also explained the terrain, land grade, water, etc. required for each crop. The conditions such as fertilizers were explained clearly and clearly. After hearing this, Xiao Ruyun applauded him on the spot, rewarded him with two more silver coins, and promised that after he helped the government this time, he would promote a member of his family to be a minor official.
Several other old farmers, who originally heard that this was the official of the county and the powerful man who had just killed Zhang Qiuguan with his flying sword, were so frightened that they fell to the ground and trembled. They made up their minds to keep silent. When they saw someone taking the lead, he said After gaining some common knowledge, I got rewarded with money and had to be born, and I couldn't help but get active one by one. You say what I want to paint. Their abilities in farming were limited to capital, livestock and other conditions, so they were not as good as the middle-aged rich farmer. However, they were quite experienced in how to survive the famine. Each of them talked and drew, but they contributed fifty or sixty kinds of food to satisfy their hunger. Pictures of wild vegetables, leaves, etc.
Xiao Ruyun praised each of them warmly, exempted some taxes for their family, stood up, and actually gave these old farmers who were not even petty officials a gift to go out.
When they were delivered to the door, Ah Xing carried a bamboo basket and gave each of them some fancy cakes to take home as proof of meeting the county magistrate.
After these people went out with gratitude, Xiao Ruyun sent Tian Sanhu to inspect the river defense. After Tian Sanhu also left, Xiao Zaifang showed up in the house with a groan.
"As an immortal, you are just like a mortal and have no integrity!" This was his inner voice. He also scolded Xiao Ruyun directly. After hearing this, Xiao Ruyun calmly said He raised his head and glanced at him: "Elder, my ancestor told me to be a good official in this county, so I have to be a good official. Do I have to disobey my ancestor's order just for my own dignity?"
"Ancestor... I don't know whether my ancestor is here or not." Xiao Zaiping himself never thought that he would say such words one day. How could his ancestor not be here? The ancestor guards Qingzhou, and other immortal families on the book rise and fall. The Xiao family in Qingzhou will always be there. Hundreds of years pass by as if it were nothing. No matter how many families are added or removed from the back of the book, the book will always be the last. The names with gold characters on them are always timeless and fresh. He could occasionally read about the collapse of valleys and the diversion of rivers in the history of Qingzhou, and he knew that some mountains were not what they are now, and some rivers were not what they are now. However, the three ancestors of the Xiao family, who were older than that, have always been there. There.
Now, they have never responded to their message. Whether it is the ancestor or others, there has been no response to the message since the day when the snowflakes started to fall.
An obvious answer has to be placed in front of these ostriches: they are all destroyed, or on the road to total destruction.
No matter which one, it was beyond the cognitive scope of the three family elders.
Their whole lives are spent trying their best to stay in the Xiao family, or how to climb a few steps up the ladder of the Xiao family. However, when the big tree of the Xiao family itself no longer exists, where will they go?
Xiao Yongkui's idea is to rush back to Qiyunfeng immediately for support. Xiao Zaihe's idea is to find out the situation first before making a decision. Xiao Zaiping's idea is that he has no idea at all. He is both afraid of and destroying Qiyunfeng's The opponent encountered, and he didn't know who to send to "explore first". Besides, he still remembered Xiao Qianqiu's words that they would not be allowed to go back until the city wall was repaired... Theoretically, it had been so long since the incident happened, and among the three of them, At least one of them should leave and practice his own ideas, but for some reason, he is still staying in Shuanghe County, even though he is full of complaints about the other two people every day after practicing.
In this small circle of elders, Xiao Zaiping has the lowest cultivation level and the worst family background. He just gets angry every day. Finally, he is forced to talk to Xiao Ruyun, a little girl. Of course, when talking, he does not forget Even though he is the elder of the Xiao family, he is still unwilling to show up in the presence of other mortals.
"Mortals know that worshiping gods is like gods." Xiao Ruyun replied calmly. Xiao Zaiping felt that her words were even more pungent than what Xiao Yongkui said: "The enemy may attack at any time. What's the use of caring about these mortals."
"The three elders can abandon the city and leave, but I will not leave."
"Oh, when the enemy attacks, what can you do to protect this city?"
"Surrender when they come."
"What!"
"If you think such words are treasonous, then what does it mean to be an immortal official who abandons the city and the people before the enemy comes?" Xiao Ruyun said lightly.
Being tricked by this little girl, Xiao Zaiping thought to himself. Somehow, this time he looked at the girl's face, and for the first time he didn't feel angry because he was offended. Instead, he felt a strange emotion - it seemed that this little girl The girl also has strange talents in her body. It's a pity that she was not born in a higher family, did not have better immortal bones, and was not born a hundred years earlier. Otherwise, the Xiao family might not be so embarrassed this time... I am really whimsical. .
